I am also a victim of the scam that Ameritrust Financial is running. I am a single mother who needed money and I thought that having a credit card would help me out a little. Boy was I wrong. I was never told that this was not a REAL credit card. I was told the money I had taken from my account WAS refundable and that when the card was sent out to methat I would be able to takethe "vouchers" to thebank and deposite them. After waiting 23 days to recieve a confirmation letter from them I signedand sent it back (regular postage) my letter got to them in 4 days. Why did it take so long for them to send me mine? I had even called before I recieved the letter to ask for my money back because I was about to be late in bills. I was told THEN that it was non-refundable. When I finally recieved the card it was for catologue purchases only, which no one ever told me. So please tell me where to go to recieve your catologue because when I looked up Ameritrust Financial online all I could find were complaints not ANY web pages. Anyone else out there DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR CARD IT IS A MAJOR SCAM. They don't even care that my children have to have less just as long as hey have more! AND NO NONE OF THEIR NUMBERS WORK CORRECTLY EITHER. THEY EVEN TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE AND MANAGERS I COULD SPEAK WITH. SOON TO BE FRMER CUSTOMER, CANDIS MANASSAS.VA

Dear Sandra, I called the customer service number for Ameritrust Financial, again, as you suggested and I left numerous voice messages on the times that I could get through, but I have yet to receive a phone call. Unfortunately, it appears as though you are naive as to how your company handles themselves and their consumers. I have not given any erroneous information in attempting to resolve this situation with your company, however, I have continuously gone unanswered and I feel as though they have gotten away with my money on two separate occasions and there is no remedy for it at this time. If you have any other remedies as to how this matter might be resolved with your company, other than calling the customer service number that only serves as an answering service for the one person who handles refunds, I am more than open to hearing it. Yours truly, Andrekka-Richmond, VA
